Parker got benched
What happend?
Parker got benched
that's cold, bro..
the ignore feature isn't strong enough tbh, it should completely hide the threads and posts
Parker is having a strong season so far. this game was a fluke tbh
We will go as far as MVParker gets benched....
Typical MVParker, showing up only against good teams and playing lazy and slow against ty teams from the least and bottom of the west. Parker will be fine going forward if he stays healthy
The Spurs have only played against 1 good team, so far..
just close the thread.
Oh parker got benched? I would have never guessed
yeah, and we would have won that if we hadn't have committed 20 turnovers, over half of them unforced and almost all of them live-ball. The Beal GW was the icing on the cake
Wizards aren't a good team
Boston and supposedly Washington (by seasons end) are above average teams. Not sure what you're definition of good is.
Parker was absolutely terrible. Can't even defend that game.
They are both average teams, 7 or 8 seeds in the East(if they even make the playoffs)..Celtics won 40 games, last year, and didn't make any significant moves(although adding David Lee is probably a net negative)..
Wizards lost Pierce, didn't add anybody significant, and Gortat/Nene look like they can't move anymore.
Great win. Looked like they were in for a gutless worm performance when the Hornets went up 6 in the 3rd and they just turned it on into overdrive. We could easily be undefeated if not for some shaky crunch time play, which will iron itself out as this team's chemistry builds.
Parker getting burnt by athletic PGs remains a concern, though.
I'm as even keeled as anyone when it comes to this civil war, but Parker was getting torched by Kemba. Kemba got gassed and Manu/Kawhi took over. At least Parker's not Jeremy Lin (-37).
Lin must have mirrored Diaw, Manu and Patty's minutes.
Just because they didn't add anybody doesn't mean they can't be as good if not better than last year. Wall / Beal / Porter (25 / 22 / 22) all should take a significant step forward this year. Beal is shooting like Steph right now.
then who is?Wizards aren't a good team
obviously not OKC, they suck, they would be 2–4 if not for a buttload of lucky shots at the end of that one road game
I started watching right about this point in the game. Spurs looked great! I believe Parker had six assists. Not bad! He made a nice play on a break to get the ball to change sides of the court (to Leonard for a 2pt FG). The big run was a team effort. Manu and Patty were on fire. West was probably player of the game--a very Boris Diaw stat line for DW. Great win Spurs!!!
All the new nonsense aside, the key is that the whole starting unit needs to develop chemistry and habits to run the offense from the post. It has relied on TP penetration for 5 years.
Danny has never played in any other Spurs offense, nor Kawhi.
The reason the offense tanks is because it never had great spacing to begin with, rather it relied on elite speed and finishing of TP. Those guys don't know yet how to play well using an inside out game.
Yes, TP "sucks" in that he too needs to work on not doing half ass probing moves, as those go nowhere. Instead, he should work to feed the post in creative ways and make cuts to give options and force the defense to make decisions. And then occasionally he can go hard in the paint.
But the other guys "suck" too because they aren't moving enough to get position and hesitate on open shots. This is why when Tony sits and Manu is in, the Spurs are better on O. The team can still play the beautiful game with him. But those guys need to learn new roles now with a reduced TP.
When clicking, the inside out game is simple. Take quick shots when you have an opening. It won't be the beautiful game, but it's effective and with cuts and chemistry it can open up the long ball and ball movement.
it could be great. The starters come in and play tough D and a grindy offense, with transition points from stops, and the second unit comes in and plays the 2014 game. Hope Pop figures it out, and hope that the players develop the right instincts to play an inside out game at the highest level.

Porker was done last year. Nothing new.
But, both those teams are very capable of beating any team in their building. It would have been a pair of quality wins had the Spurs not blow another 4th quarter lead in Washington.
I was wondering over the summer if the so,it ion was to bring either Aldridge or Duncan off the bench, but obviously that will never happen. It may amount to just Aldridge learning to make his moves faster and read when to move it instead. Could be potentially lethal but not yet.
Spurs started hitting threes
